Vintage Japan Lusterware Miniature Teacups Set Blue Swallows Birds Demitasse

Description

View Vintage Japan Lusterware Miniature Teacups Set Blue Swallows Birds Demitasse with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. This listing features a charming set of two vintage miniature porcelain teacups, hand-painted with a beautiful motif of flying blue swallows and accented with striking gold lusterware details on the rims and handles. Measuring approximately 2.5 inches in diameter across the rim and standing 1.25 inches tall, these delicate pieces are characteristic of the highly collectible mid-century Japanese export porcelain crafted between the 1920s and 1950s. The cups feature a classic pearlescent luster finish that catches the light beautifully, and they remain unmarked on the clean, unglazed footrims as was typical for many export sets of this era. They are in excellent vintage condition with no chips or cracks, though they show the normal, minor manufacturing anomalies and light gilt wear expected with authentic antique porcelain. These diminutive cups are perfect for displaying in a china cabinet, adding to a miniature children's tea set collection, or utilizing as unique espresso and demitasse cups for bird lovers.
